without any doubt in my mind the cavs would've beat the magic with shaq. hell he still plays yao and howard about even.

what an amazing finals that would've been. lakers with kobe vs. the cavs with lebron and shaq...

The Deal has just went through tonight

awful deal for the Cavs. Dwight Howard wasnt the problem for them. Hedo and Rashard killed Cleveland.

great trade for me being a casual fan.

this helps my interest times 100.


i also think this helps the cavs despite you haters. lebron had to approve this trade anyhow so its on him either way.

lol I guess Im a hater. I think they could have done better with the trade.

hell even i know that. i just like the possible drama for next season's playoffs.

risky as hell given shaqs history of sitting out 3/4s the year.

He might just play well. He didnt play too bad in Phoenix, but he limited Amare there.

I think he will play about 50 games, if he comes to camp in some sort of shape.

Round is a shape? Right?

Same here. I just went to some Cavs forums, and they are doing cartwheels in joy, obviously. Then I went to a couple general NBA forums, and NBA fans in general are excited about this deal, many of them predicting the Cavs to win it all next season.
